Chapter 10

Here's chappy 10. Once again Lucy will prove how perfect she is. Please enjoy.

I do not own Fairy Tail, it all belongs to Hiro Mashima.

The competition was intense. They both were good. Lisanna had perfect moves and looked far more experienced then Lucy… Lisanna was sure she's was going to win but Lucy was still catching up. Girls watched them amazed and soon the boys joined too.

The teacher, Libra, also admired their moves. She was good at dancing, finishing a lot of courses with different types of dances but she had to admit that girls were a lot better than her. They were fast and could do a lot of different moves in short period. The only thing missing them was… blending in with the music. They didn't enter the spirit of music.

'Heh, I'm surely gonna win. The fast parts are my specialty.' Lisanna thought smirking at Lucy. Lucy noticed her smirk and smirked back. And the fast part started. Lisanna got more fast and supple, thinking that the whole crowd was looking at her. But she soon noticed that she was very wrong. She quickly glanced at Lucy and was devastated.

Lucy was moving faster than her, it looked impossible to move like her, but that wasn't the only thing that made crowd's eyes go to her. Lucy completely blended in with music and became one with it. It was like the song was broadcasted through her and not the radio.

Nobody could take their eyes of her. And Lucy? She was really happy. She felt the music inside her like she did a long time ago….. when her mom was still alive. She didn't know of her surroundings, she was only focused on the music in and outside of her heart.

She had mixed feelings inside her that made her move faster and faster, better and better. And only one image pop out in her head- Natsu with his famous grin on his face. Lucy suddenly stopped at the image. She soon realized that the song had finished a long time ago and the crowd was looking at her amazed. She looked at Lisanna who had her mouth wide open.

Then through the gym a roaring applause could be heard. The whole crowd cheered for Lucy who was still half in her trance. And then she saw his face in the crowd.

He was amazed. He didn't know she could dance like that. Natsu started to go through the crowd, trying to catch Lucy's sight. And he caught it but… She just smiled at him sadly. Then the teacher, Libra, came to her and whispered something in her ear. She nodded and left the room leaving the cheering crowd.

"You lazy morons! Get back here! Your running away is not men! I'll drop your grade for slacking off!" Elfman shouted after Lucy walked out. He, also, was amazed by her dance.

"Yeah, yeah…" the boys sounded disappointed. They wanted to watch Lucy more, she was the school idol, and now Elfman was threatening with lowering their grades… And they were only good in P.E.!

"You were great, Lu-chan!" Levy jumped around her best friend happily.

"Calm down, Levy-chan. I wasn't such a big matter." Lucy answered, smiling at her best friend.

"What talent did she show now?" out of nowhere Erza popped out with her hands on Lucy's shoulders.

"She was dancing! Amazingly! She was so fast! So perfect! Sooo everything!" Levy had stars in her eyes. Lucy just became her idol!

"Ah, I know. The first time teachers came to teach her dancing they were left breathless. She could perfect every dance in very short period of time. Well, that also had its ugly sides but it's not worth mentioning." Erza said tapping Lucy's shoulders who just smiled at her,

"What ugly sides?" Levy looked confused. "The teachers were amazed, weren't they? Why that would have its ugly sides?" Levy thought. Erza looked at Lucy worriedly like she's looking for approval or something like that. Lucy just nodded and smiled at Erza who smiled back.

"She was also called weirdo and monster and stuff similar to that. The way and speed she gained knowledge made teachers disgusted. With just one look Lucy can memorize everything and that's what made teachers envious. She was considered a freak in kindergarten and was bullied in elementary school. Me, Gray and Loke were her only friends." Erza said leaving Levy shocked. And it clearly could be seen on her face. Lucy had painful expression on her face, trying to prevent all of her ugly memories from that time.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know…" Levy looked really worried and guiltily,

"Don't worry. You couldn't. You don't have to apologize for anything." Lucy tapped Levy's head and smiled at her.

"And I also didn't know that Gray and you are childhood friends! And with Loke, too. You don't talk to each other in school at all." Levy smiled at her blonde friend trying to make her more cheerful,

"Well, we don't talk to each other so we can prevent any rumor about us." Suddenly a guy's hands hugged Lucy's neck,

"G-gray!" Lucy stuttered, looking really surprised, "What are you doing! Get your hands off me! You are doing the opposite of what you just said!"

"Don't worry, there's nobody in this hall except us." Gray said hugging Lucy harder and making her blush a little.

"Get your hands off her! She's mine!" Erza said punching Gray and pulling Lucy towards her. Erza glared at Gray making him shiver and Lucy only smiled. Levy sweat dropped at the view. She didn't know that Lucy was good with Gray and she surly didn't know that they were like that.

At school, Gray was the cool guy popular with girls and boys, looking cold-blooded and fearless. But seeing him like this, shivering by just one glare Erza directed towards him was definitely not what Levy expected.

"Let's cut classes today!" suddenly Lucy said surprising all three of them,

"What?!" Levy said looking at Lucy in horror. She didn't know that Lucy liked to skip classes, either.

"Why?" Erza asked not looking like she's opposing the idea.

"Well, now everybody will have their attention on me, more than most of the time. And I just can't concentrate on the lessons while everybody's staring at me." Lucy explained.

"Ok, let's cut classes!" Gray agreed and Erza nodded. Levy looked at them speechless and really confused.

"Will you join, Levy?" Lucy asked smiling at the petite blunette.

"Huh? Cut classes? I can't do that!" Levy said defensively.

"Why? Just try one time! It's fun!" Lucy said taking Levy's hand and making her way towards the rooftop. It was their hiding spot. Erza and Gray both run after them trying to make as less noise as they could.

"Lucy Heartfillia!" the teacher was taking attendance.

"Lucy is not here? Well, that's odd. She never skips classes. And Fullbuster and McGarden aren't here either…." The teacher commented looking across the classroom. The female students started whispering and gossiping the moment teacher said that Gray wasn't present.

"Maybe they are together on a date! Skipping classes together! That's so romantic!" one of them whispered.

"That is romantic, but why does it have to be Lucy!" one of them grunted and made a grimace.

"Well… Lucy is the prettiest girl in school and if someone has to take Gray it would be the best if that someone could be Lucy. I mean she's like perfect! Did you see her dance? I've never seen moves like that! She made me her fan!" the third one had stars in her eyes.

"Yeah, you're right! They suit each other and look the best together." The second one unhappily agreed with her friends. She had to admit she was nowhere near Lucy in looks, grades or dancing. Lucy was like goodness!

"But I thought that Lucy is with Natsu!" the forth one said.

"Well, looks like they are not. Either way, Lucy looks better with Gray." The third one said.

"No! Lucy looks better with Natsu!" said the forth one glaring at the third one.

"Class! Quiet down! Especially you four!" the teacher finally reacted glaring at our nameless quarto which quiet down at instant.

Natsu was feeling jealous and angry! He heard the whole talk that the quarto led. How could he not hear it? They were pretty loud and they were just behind him. He was wondering when the teacher will react. Black aura formed around him which made students around him move their desks as far as they could. Then Natsu sighed, knowing that Gray wasn't the one at fault. He couldn't blame Lucy for being close to her childhood friend, also.

"I just want you to remember! What is taking you so long? You didn't like that time?! The time you spent with me?!" Natsu thought and felt more irritated by his thoughts. He punched his desk almost breaking it. He surprised and scared the whole class including the teacher.

"Dragneel, if you're angry go break things at your home! Don't destroy school property!" the teacher said trying to sound strict and angry but she couldn't hide the tone of being scared.

"Aye, sir." He said irritated while slowly taking his stuff. Then he looked at teacher bowed his head like an apology for breaking the desk and left the classroom. He cursed quietly but the sound still echoed throughout the hall. Suddenly, he stopped and looked through the window on his left. He could see a big sakura tree and another part of the school building. Hi sighed trying to calm himself down.

"When will I stop making mistakes?" he though continuing walking towards the school entrance/exit.
